A strong support system of family, friends, community and coworkers is crucial to the well-being of new moms and moms-to-be, and to her baby’s well-being as well. That’s why this month we are proud to partner with Pregnancy Awareness, an organization that was created by Anna Getty and Alisa Donner to empower, inspire and build a community of support for expectant and new moms and their families.In a recent blog she wrote on PregnancyAwareness.com about her first experience with Weleda products, Alisa sums up the power friends can have in the lives of new moms. After she brought her newborn daughter home from the hospital, a friend came by...

Summer is finally here after a spring with a lot of rain and rather cool temperatures. When it finally turned warm a few weeks ago, everybody was out and about. The number of bicyclists that all of a sudden turned up on Route 9W, the popular biking route near Weleda’s headquarters, was quite staggering, and for me it was time to saddle up as well! It’s a rather scenic ride along the Hudson River, and I like to do my part for the environment by bicycling to the office. I am admittedly a fair-weather rider, so there is no need to look for me on the trails unless it is nice outside.The first ride of the season is always such a joy,...

Summer is finally here and our chamomile flowers are in full bloom! Chamomile flowers are little, but they are special in a big way. You might know this flower best for its ability to be dried and made into delicious, calming tea, but here at Weleda it is known more as one of the amazing ingredients in our skin care and medicines. Also known as German Chamomile or Wild Chamomile, this annual herb blooms small white flowers. I think they look just like daisies. The best time to spot them is between May and August. They grow prolific throughout Europe and northern Asia. Chamomile is very fine and must be harvested by hand, then cleaned of soil and...

Hello, everyone! I am the new Communications Intern at Weleda, here to help you survive the summer heat in style, with my first blog! The transition to summer can be invigorating for the mind and body. Here are a few simple solutions to ensure your skin feels just as good as your spirit as the summer rolls in. 1. Lighten Up! As the weather warms our facial skin becomes less susceptible to over drying as the body begins to produce natural oils more regularly. To maintain a perfect balance of moisture without leaving the skin feeling greasy, switch to one of our facial lotions in place of our richer day creams. Perfect for those in their 20s, our...

Some of my favorite Weleda products for summer are our Sea Buckthorn Body Oil, Hand Cream, Body Lotion and Creamy Body Wash. Here are eight reasons why I love sea buckthorn and hope you will, too! 1. It’s a super superfruit. Sea buckthorn is scientifically reputed to contain a rich cocktail of antioxidants and health benefits. Its golden-red pulp and seed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, and pro-vitamin A and vitamin E. The juice contains among the highest amounts of vitamin C of any fruit or vegetable, including oranges and lemons! 2. It’s Biodynamic®. The sea buckthorn we use is grown in Tuscany by a farmer,...

I've Just Started Using Some of Weleda's Skincare Products Recently and I Have To Say That I've Been So Pleasantly Surprised By The Results!! I Bought My First Product By Weleda A Month Ago And I Chose The Almond Soothing Facial Lotion Because I Have Super Dry Skin And I Wanted A Deep Moisturizing Lotion To Combat The Dryness! I've Tried Other Products That Claim To Be Intensive Moisturizers And They Seem To Help Temporarily, But Never Last Very Long. Not Only Did The Almond Soothing Facial Lotion Deeply Moisturize, Smooth & Plump, But The Results Lasted All Day!!! I Was So Excited Over My New Treasure Find, I Ran Out And Bought Another Tube For Fear That They Would Sell Out Or Wouldn't Have It In Stock When I Ran Out!! Weleda Calls It.....Almond Soothing Facial Lotion. I Call It.....My Mini Face Lift In A Tube!! After Using It For Over A Month Now, My Skin Has Transformed-It Looks & Feels Amazing!! Thanks Weleda!! #WeledaListens

YOU KNOW HOW YOU FEEL WHEN YOU'VE JUST GOTTEN A NEW MAKEOVER THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY LOVE, A NEW OUTFIT THAT YOU CAN'T WAIT TO WEAR, A NEW PURSE YOU CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW OFF!! EVEN BETTER, A BRAND NEW ATTITUDE?!! BECAUSE THAT IS HOW I FELT AFTER FINDING WELEDA' S SKIN FOOD!! I WAS CURSED, FOR SOME REASON, WITH SUPER DRY SKIN TO THE POINT OF REDNESS, ITCHING AND EVEN PAINFUL AT TIMES AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT PAIN CAN DO TO OUR OVER-ALL DEMEANOR, NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT DRY SKIN INFLAMED LOOKS HORRIBLE! THEN ONE DAY, IN TARGET, I WAS SHOPPING, FOR NO ONE THING IN PARTICULAR, AND A CUSTOMER WAS PICKING UP A TUBE AND SHE WAS SINGING ITS' PRAISES SO I BOUGHT A TUBE TO TRY AND IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SLATHER. AND I DO MEAN SLATHER, BECAUSE I PILED IT OWN NOT REALIZING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I HAD FINALLY FOUND A CREME THAT I DIDN'T NEED TO OVER-APPLY BECAUSE OF SEVERELY DRY SKIN. NOT ONLY WERE THE RESULTS INSTANT, BUT THE LASTING EFFECTS WERE AMAZING!! USING SKIN FOOD, FOR ME, IS LIKE HAVING A NEW MAKEOVER THAT I LOVE, AN OUTFIT I CAN'T WAIT TO PUT ON, AN ATTITUDE THAT'S HAPPY & GRATEFUL, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I'M CONSTANTLY SHOWING IT OFF LIKE A BRAND NEW PURSE EVERY DAY I PUT IT ON AS WELL AS BRAGGING NON-STOP!!! #WeledaListens

I love Weleda on the account of many things. First of all, I love that Weleda uses biodynamic plants. I love the connection and energy to anthroposophy. For this reason, we only (by we I mean myself and my baby girl) only use Weleda products or products that I make because I know and trust the products. Weleda ultimately also inspired me to start making my own products. I now have my own business and sell my lip balms in close to 100 stores nationally! This has all been a gigantic blessing being a mother who gets to be at home with her now almost 2 year old pride of her life!! I have been a long time fan of Weleda. My baby girl and I share the same soaps and lotions. It's hard to choose one product for a possibly year supply, but I chose the calendula shampoo and body wash because we go through it the fastest! Im a sincere fan of Weleda. Glad to offer up a testimonial!
